(^1) Gifts should normally be refused or returned where staff have direct involvement in decisions affecting the giver or where they are worth more than about £25. Where a gift above the £25 threshold cannot be refused or returned without damaging relations, officials should inform their HR Business Partner and line manager, who will decide whether to return the gift to the official, offer the official the option of paying for it or reciprocating from their own pocket, use if for the department or otherwise dispose of it.

(^2) Does not include hospitality below £10, attendance at functions hosted by HM Government; attendance at ‘diplomatic’ functions in the UK or abroad, hosted by overseas governments; hospitality from individuals the official may know in both an official and personal context, where it is clear that they are offering the hospitality at their personal expense and it is the official’s clear intention to reciprocate at the official’s personal expense, offers of hospitality which were declined.
